First off, this Android app is specifically for people who have an income of $80,000 or less ($100,000 if married), no dependents, no home or real-estate ownership, and income only from W-2s, interest, or unemployment. This is definitely just for a simplified tax filing, and anything more complex would have to be done online (or by other more traditional means).

Once you have answered the qualifying questions and determined that you’d benefit from filing through the Android app version of TurboTax, comleting the process is extremely easy. First, either manually enter your income information or snap a photo of your W-2 form(s). Second, fill in your personal information like SSN, DOB, and occupation (this app’s forms are secure). Lastly, preview your filing and if you’re ready, purchase the filing license and submit your tax forms!
